The business of the meeting was an exhibition of mammals, 

 birds and reptibs recently collected on the Tenasserim boundary. 



Mr. K. G. Gairdner showed the mammals and birds collected by 

 himself — amongst the former being the tail and a piece of the adjacent 

 skin of the rare Fea's Muntjac ( Cervidus Jeae ). The birds, of which 

 a fair number had been obtained, inclvided the following which, so far 

 as is known, have not previously been recorded from Siam : — Black- 

 throated Laughing Thrush ( Bryonastes cliinensis ) ; Dusky Broadbill 

 (^Cori/don sumatranus); Red-bea;\led Bee-eater (Nyctiornis amidus); 

 a Frogmouth ( Batraclwstomus sp, ) and a specimen of the rare 

 E-ufous-bellied Hawk-Eagle ( LophotriorcMs Meneri ). 



Dr. Malcolm Smith exhibited specimens of the reptiles obtained 

 by his collector. The total number of species which had been brought 

 in was 31, amongst which were Coluber oxyceplialus, Alahes scriptus, 

 Simotes violaeeus, Tropidonoius clirysargus, Polyodontopjhis collaris, 

 AcantJiosaura crucigera, Calotes cristaiellus, Droxo blanfordi, Gymno- 

 dadyl'iis marmoratus, Lygosoma olivaceum, L. vittigerum, Bufo asper 

 and Rana macrodon, none of which had been previously recoi'ded in 

 Siam north of the Isthmus of Kra. 



Dr. Smith also showed a second specimen of a skink ( Lygosoma 

 anguinoides ) and of a snake ( Simotes inornatus ) both of which were 

 new to Science and which would be described b}'' Mr. Boulenger in the 

 forthcoming number of the Journal.
